I hadn't realized it, but I guess our boy has had a lot of occasions where other people were getting gifts and he wasn't. Since Christmas, there's been Aunt Allie's, Brooklyn's, Alexander's, Uncle Geoff's, and his friend, Daniel's birthdays. We've baked cookies for Uncle Geoff and the neighbors who had a new baby. We bought Valentine's Day gifts for Brooklyn and Carter. He made a Valentine's day gift for me at school. We gave Daddy some Valentine's Day cards and a box of chocolate. But I guess I hadn't really thought about the fact that there haven't been gifts for Henry in that time. The sweet little guy was up in my office playing the other day and he found a sweet blue Precious Moment's cross that Nana had given him for Christmas (that I haven't hung on his wall yet). He picked it up and asked, "What dis, Mommy?" I told him that it was a special cross that his Nana had given him for Christmas. He said, "For Enny?" "Yes, Bubbie, for Henry." His little face lit up and he said, "Not for Mommy, not for Daddy, not for Gee-gee, not for Ca-ger, not for Brookie, for Enny!" And then he proceeded to hug it. Such a sweet little guy. And really, he's been so good about giving other people gifts that I hadn't thought about how it was affecting him and what he was thinking about it. The little sweetheart.
